2-4-1 Season Record
2 Assists for Vatanen in Return, Vegas picks up the W
As was the case with Johnson, Vatanen had an immediate positive impact in joining the team for his first game of the 2017 campaign. He logged 19:48 of ice time and had 1SOG and 4BKS, as well as 2 helpers to boot. All while playing on the 2nd unit with Ian Cole, While Johnson was promoted to the first unit for the game.
Vatanen should continue to produce all season long if he remains healthy. Despite a losing record Vegas has one of the better defensive cores in the league, and sooner or later this will translate into more wins.
